On Friday night at the Stanford Invitational, Chris Barnicle ran under 29 minutes for 10K for the first time in his career, clocking 28:58.96 to place 16th in the seeded heat at the prestigious event, and earn a qualifying time for the NCAA Div I Regional Championships. This was also the first time Chris competed officially for New Mexico, where he is working on a graduate degree. He has two more seasons of collegiate track eligibility (including this Spring), so here's to more PRs!
Doug Brecher finished 4th in the 5000m at the Tufts Snowflake Classic in Medford, MA on Saturday, running 15:23.20.
Northeastern University was in Tampa, Florida for the USF Invitational on Saturday, and both Seb Putzeys and Jess Barton competed in the 3000m steeplechase.
It's not a surprise to see Jess compete in the steeple, as she has a resume in that event, including a junior olympics national championship. On Saturday she finished 3rd in the women's steeple in 11:07.47.
As far as I know, Seb has never run the steeple before, but he did pretty well, finishing 6th in 10:23.19. I'd like to know what coach at Northeastern seeded him at 9:30, though.
Noah Jampol opened his outdoor track season running 4:22.29 in the 1500 at the Marlyand Terrapin Invitational on Saturday.
Good to see Anna Schindler fast and healthy. Anna ran 19:30.80 to place 4th in the 5000m at the Trinity Invitational in Hartford on Saturday. Also competing for Wesleyan, Scott Cole ran 2:03.21 to place 13th in the 800.

Jon,
As I remember, your 3K steeple time can be approximated by your 2 mile time. That's consistent with the few times I ran it.
Yes, but you were a hurdler.
I have found that without hurdle skills, the 3k steeple can easily be 30s slower than 2M time.
Jon,
As you know, I am the distance coach at Northeastern University. You can email me at waldron@gonu.com if you have any further questions about our seed times or anything else. All the best,
- Renny
